The Steely Prince Every Day Wants to Kill Me

[Palace Intrigue · Historical · Time Travel · Romance]

Jianwen Dongling, noble by blood and the highest commander of the Subei Army, was once mighty and famed across the land. But heaven is merciless: after the southern Yue battle, he was left with a leg injury, and his position as crown prince began to totter.

By an imperial marriage edict, Su Jin, who had traveled into this world, was chosen to enter the eastern palace as a secondary consort, as an expression of the emperor’s grace.

On her first day in the eastern palace, she heard him casually say that the mighty Northern Suppression General had died an unnatural death.

On her second day, she saw him personally cut off his younger imperial brother’s head.

After that, she watched him tear off all pretense, toy with people’s hearts, seize power and use schemes, kill his father, and slaughter his brothers.

Only then did she realize that the eastern palace was not home to the much-praised war god prince, but to a wolf that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

To survive, she deceived him, lured him, and tempted him, only to receive his cold remark: “Putting on innocence and cleverness, full of schemes, trash not fit to be shown in public.”

But later, when the rebel army attacked the border and she fell into the moat to fake her death, the tyrant who had just taken the throne went mad after hearing the news of her death.

Warning: the male lead is not human about it (at first they despise each other; in the end he goes mad for love).
